We will meet you at our paragliding base 15 minutes before the booked time (the shuttle leaves 15 minutes before your booking time) to show you your equipment and get to know each other. After meeting your pilot, we will drive you to the starting point on the Forclaz Pass. Any accompanying person will not be able to take the shuttle with you, but they can meet you when you land.

My two children (12 and 9 years old) and I went on a tandem paragliding flight, and what can I say?! It was absolutely the best experience of our vacation!! The guides were super friendly, explained everything clearly, and I felt completely at ease letting my children glide through the air! The view was incredible and simply breathtaking!! Even during the flight, the guide kept us informed, and before landing, they gave us a final briefing on how to behave.
It was truly fantastic all around, and I highly recommend it!! Thank you so much for this amazing experience!!!

It was perfect, good explanation and instruction in English, very nice people. By the time we were at the mountain, most of my nerves were gone. My son loved it too. Worth every cent (but I do feel paying 30 for some pictures is too expensive.)
